ORIGINAL: MistressKay What you are asking for is a black list and that went out of style with the spanish inquisition - there should never be a list of names of people to avoid - can you just imagine your ex putting YOUR name on a list like that just because you upset him/her... black lists are all bad and have no place in society because the information is based on a personal accusation alone - these kinds of things can never be proven. Lady Kay I hate to be a spoil sport and toss a bucket of iced water over you, but Black Lists do occure. Look at Commercial Credit reporting Companies for a start. Now I dont know about the US but here the Real Estate Industry runs lists of bad tennents. Police departments are known to have lists of most likley offenders for specific crimes. Also lets face it I doubt if there is a country who do not have a black list on known or suspect terrorist sympethisers and activists. I even know that some religious organizations have black lists of people they believe should be eradicated (mostly the extreem right wing groups) quote:
